Drivesit, actually my garage look like a WW3 battle area but i will do.

Drifesit effectively in regard of your same period photos no question : this is not the original handle. A friend is very hot on and probably i will going to do a friendly deal, and drink the bottle. 70kgs on the scale.

I could never have imagined that the handle does not seem original. When i dismantled, don’t notice any details who can reveal a repair or remplacement part. Now just hope someone from GJ have original brochure or example of matching rock island vise ! Thanks in advance

Done the grinding and patina finish. The welding is very strong and now the sliding part work fine. Swivel and axle greased, turn smoothly and easily. The bolt to block the embase rotation is it something original ? The number 20 are stamped on the sliding and fixed part. Any idea ? Date of...

Don, thanks for the link. Done

Hi guys. Come here because i fal last week on a barcalo buffalo wrench and don’t found details for it. Others i saw had a split handle. Anyway very happy with. Buy for the look and finally Use it with enjoy ! An old tool well design.

Hi guys. Find this curious wrench last week. Had never seen that before. First intrigued by the shape, and after use it for dismantle swivel big vises it’s a very good tool ! Once again don’t find this 14inch model. Split handle model seem more common

Drivesit : the crack was big enough so don’t need to shape larger. Just clean well. With this special sticks no need to keep heat after. Just a little bit before. A welder friend of me, now in retreat, told me to hammer the welding during the cold down. If i remember well that’s to expand the...

Drivesit : unbeliavable, do you launch a spy drone above me ? Just finish the welding job now. Need to heat before and use special stick arc welding for cast iron. This specials sticks are expensive but do something strong. When i dismantled the vise the static part has been very hard to remove...

Leviton : hard to find, you are welcome and even you don’t find i am sure you will have a nice trip Drivefit : i already do this repair on cast iron simple job but the result never beautiful as original.

ok for the next vise i will use a wine bottle scale ! as i told i don't find photo of the #77 so impossible to be sure. the head of axle is clearly not the same but are they from the same era ? hope members of GJ will have details on.

yes sorry, i mixed : 140 kilos so 309 pounds. for the fun i am going to weigh others vises.

drivesit : pretty good idea, i am going to study that. a friend of me give me an industrial scale, basically to know the weight of my safes so couldn't resist to test the mogul, verdict : 309 kilos.

Hi guys. found this week this serious US vise. just disappointed because this one don't be abused but just bas used. i hate people who don't respect the materials, especially good ones. however impossible to blame the seller because it was an old lady whose husband had just died. the end of the...

just finishing and wax the beast. now i just don't know where place it ! i have 3 bench but they are too high. so research a cast iron base from a milling machine/wood machine. hard to find but not desperate. drivesit : i managed your face to face big vises and now need a good cup of wine to...

hi guys. yes drivesit, a little bit burn but no break for the rust. the 106 is now achieve. after dismantle for resto i can said this is a very good vise. the big screw for the adjustment of the main axle is welcome. the BLO treatment is something good too, but i find this is between an oil and...
